The wine list is comprehensive with nearly three hundred bottles to choose from. The Wild Goose Grill takes its name from the Wild Geese, those successive waves of Irishmen who left their country to serve in the armies of continental Europe during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Wild Geese scattered far and wide, distinguishing themselves on battlefields from France and Spain to South America. To this day, you can see their legacy in the proud Irish names written on street signs from Madrid to Buenos Aires. But the Wild Geese also left another legacy in their adopted lands, a legacy that bears fruit to this day. From the great vineyards of Bordeaux to the wineries of the new world, the Irish have become famous for making good wine. Many of the wines they produce are now world renowned brands, with names like Lynch and Barton synonymous with excellence.

Food is very impressive indeed. The only fault I would have is that our white wine was not left on table which meant we were waiting a while to get more. when glasses were running low 5.0 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 15 Jan 2012 14 Jan 2012 areuhavingalaugh Newbie 4311 Another favourite of mine thats very consistent . Really good food everytime and great selection of wine. My only gripe about Wild goose grill would be the tables are a little too close together for my liking although some would say it adds to the atmosphere its also a little intrusive ,not so bad if you are at the window seats Excellent service/food in a central location !!! 4.8 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 17 Dec 2011 19 Oct 2011 jimcars Newbie 4311 Six of us had dinner here on Saturday evening. There were a lot of what appeared to be Christmas parties, which in fact added to the buzzing atmosphere. I had the scallops which were cooked to perfection and served on pea and ham risotto, I couldn't fault it. All of our starters were really good except for maybe the crab starter which we felt was not at the same level. All of our main courses were beautiful. We had no complaints. The wine was flowing and we had a really good evening. I will definitely be back. 4.3 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 12 Dec 2011 10 Dec 2011 mgleeson Newbie 4311 I'd been here 3 wks previous and was therefore really looking forward to it again. 6 of us had a really great night - food as always was fantastic (for 4 of us anyway) and the wine flowed (when we asked...). I had recommended this place to my party of six and I'll go back again based on previous experiences but I'm not sure the rest of my party would. As I said, food was amazing, but only for 4 of us - the goose, it's namesake, was as tough as ol' boots - and I brought to the waiters attention who was very apologetic - but it still appeared on the bill, it was taken off after again raising the point. We had two other gripes - we very disappointed the 'cote de boeuf' wasn't available, despite being available to other guests who'd arrived later than we had. And the wine, the place was busy but I was under the impression restaurants made their money on wine, we had to ask a number of times for more wine. Other than that we had a fantastic time, food was great, atmosphere great and will definitely be going again! 4.6 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 21 Nov 2011 18 Nov 2011 IndianLover!

The atmosphere, service and food were superb. I never even knew this place existed, a great spot in the heart of Ranelagh, will be returning soon. 4.8 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png 04 Sep 2011 20 Jul 2011 thebudda Foodie 4311 I had an amazing meal here last night with my boyfriend. We decided at the last minute to go out, so we didn't have a reservation. I had my heart set on eating here, so I didn't mind waiting a while to be squeezed in, as they were very busy. We were delighted to discover that the Early Goose Menu applies all night on Wednesdays, so really great value was available. The A La Carte Menu is considerably more expensive, and only average value for money, I thought. The atmosphere was great, although very loud, and the staff were very welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. Himself ordered from the Early Goose Menu, while I ordered a la carte. There was no difference in quantity or quality of the servings. My 'Goose Plate' starter, featuring foie gras, smoked goose, and goose confit, was a revelation. The veg accompanying his pork fillet tasted amazing, a combination of mash, petits pois, and baby leeks. The carrot puree accompaniment to my lamb was similarly delicious. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately, so we'll just have to go back. My boyfriend and I agreed afterwards that this was definitely one of the tastiest meals we have ever had. 4.5 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 28 Jul 2011 27 Jul 2011 acuparia First Timer 4311 I absolutely love this restaurant. I have been twice now - once in a group of 3, and again last week in a group of 10 for a birthday. The service is brilliant, the wine list is to die for, the food is delicious (I had the Goose Plate to start which I would advise everyone to go for and was the highlight of my meal!) and everyone around the table was delighted with their choices - no complaints at all which is rare in such a big group. My only tiny gripe would be that they don't have a fillet steak on the menu, but this is such a minor criticism it should hardly be mentioned and is only particular to me (as I love fillet steak!) It's not a cheap option, but you do get what you pay for - excellent dining and attentive staff. Will definitely be back for the next special occasion. 4.6 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 18 May 2011 14 May 2011 oc Connoisseur 4311 A well kept secret in Ranelagh. The Wil Goose exceeded my expectations, the lam was delightful and cooked to perfection. It's not cheap but they offer a good early bird if you go for that. It was a birthday and the staff could'nt have been more accomodating. A good spot for that special occassion. 4.6 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 25 Apr 2011 31 Mar 2011 academy Newbie 4311 7 of us dined here recently on a Wednesday evening. We arrived in shortly before 9 and found the dining room to be surprisingly busy with a warm atmosphere and great buzz, and appeared to be full of locals which is always a good sign. We had the all night 'early bird', offering fantastic value at 2 courses for just 19.95. I started with the black pudding which was absolutely delicious and perfectly fresh. The main of sea bass was equally tasty, fresh, generous size and enjoyed by all who chose it. The chicken also went down well with my partner, he started with the puff pastry and mozzarella tart which was fine, if a little unoriginal and would have benefited from some fresh basil leaves. The service was flawless, with a nice gap between courses. Our wine glasses were never empty, and we felt very well looked after. It has been a few years since I had eaten here, but I will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Great food and service at affordable prices. Highly recommended! 4.6 source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_green.png source/wild_goose/images/star_middle_half.png 10 Apr 2011 30 Mar 2011 rcallagh Guru
